Foyers or hallways tend to be very narrow and long. They also don’t have much light from outside. The only light that is often coming in is from the panes of the window on your front door. So it is important that you put lights in this area. You might try to have a lantern style light in your foyer. If you have a really long hallway you might want to add a couple more lantern style lights.
Another idea to decorate your hallway is to put wood modeling in. You want to make sure that this isn’t placed too high. You want to make sure it’s about chair height. This is about ninety centimeters from your floor. You can also do wood paneling for a more country type feel. This works better in some homes depending on the style in your home. This can be added to the bottom of the wall.
The next tip in decorating your foyer is to pick a paint color. You should pick a warm color of paint. This is because it adds a bit more character to the space. You can pick up color samples at your local hardware store or paint shop to pick the perfect color for your hallway. Make sure that you put the darker colors above the lighter colors because it will make the height of the room go down.
If you do not want to paint then you could put up wallpaper. If you decide to paint the paneling make sure your wallpaper is higher up. This way people will not bother it when they walk down the hallway and it won’t get messed up. A great wallpaper design is one that has diamond shapes on it. This gives the foyer a very classy look.
Using textured wallpaper can add a lot of fun to your foyer. You can try pleated wallpaper. Also metallic wallpaper is great because hallways do not have a lot of light in them and metallic wallpaper deflects light.
